Epson TX210 Reset Waste Ink Counter
When Epson TX210 reports that an ink pad needs service, restarting the printer alone normally does not clear the lock. A compatible reset procedure is required.
What the Epson TX210 service message means
The printer protects against possible ink overflow by monitoring an internal service counter. On Epson TX210, reaching the threshold can trigger an ink pad warning and block further jobs.
Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Epson TX210. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
